The Grabo family's luck seemed to run out very suddenly.
In 2014, Brayden Grabo was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy. The genetic disease will chip away at Brayden's motor skills, affecting the nerves controlling his movement.
Later that same year, Brayden's father was diagnosed with lymphoma, and died suddenly.
Then, earlier this year, Brayden's 3-year-old brother, Beckett, was diagnosed with the same genetic disease that afflicts his brother.
But when you look at Brayden's face, any stranger would know that it is not the face of an ill boy. He still has a lot of joy, and one foundation brought him and his family much more of it.
Baking Memories 4 Kids is a non-profit organization founded by Frank Squeo, a cancer survivor who wanted to make the load a little lighter for kids with life-threatening and terminal diseases and their families. And it was he who presented Brayden with a very generous gift, courtesy of his organization: an all-expenses paid trip to Disneyworld and Universal Studios for him and his family!
The organization uses the proceeds of its holiday bake sale to pay for trips like these.
Watch Frank break the news of this dream trip to the little boy, and look how excited he is! We're so happy that amidst all of this family's hardship, he and his family can at least enjoy one week and make memories to last a lifetime.
If this little boy's reaction to his surprise touched your heart, please SHARE!
